Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Beta Announcement

Share this post

We promised yesterday that we have something very special lined up for PlayStation Plus members and we’re now able to reveal that you will able to take part in the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Multiplayer Beta at the pre-testing phase from 27 September.

This means that Plus members will be able to access the beta one week before anyone else.

We’ll have more detailed information on what the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Multiplayer Beta includes before 27 September, so stay tuned.

Everyone who is a Plus subscriber because this comment from the US Blog seems to indicate different? It says “select playstation plus subscribers not all! :(

“In early October, the betas for upcoming AAA games kick-off with Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and Red Faction Battlegrounds. Select PlayStation Plus members will get their hands on the first-ever multiplayer modes of the Assassin’s Creed franchise.”

I thought there were only a select number of spots. Hence, the Beta codes. So people who took the effort to pre-order AC before a certain date get ripped off as Plus members now just swoop in at the last minute cause they have more money to throw around. Wow, great way to reward your customers. Doesn’t seem fair to me.

Nice 1 James l was already happy with ps+ but my only gripe was the fact that no beta’s had been released for ps+ members in fact the beta programs are the reason l signed up.So on the whole ps+ getting better and better cheers m8 ….

@ 13 it doesnt cost anything to pre-order a game as you dont pay for it untill it’s released? .James i hope between this post yesturdays store update and the LBP2 post comments you are starting to see on a regular basis why many current plus subscribers are hesitant about renewing subscriptions. I think a very serious discussion needs to go on between senior people at SCEE, managers of the PAL store and the PAL plus team to see just how much out of touch you guys are with the fan base and loyal supportive customers. Questionairs just dont cut it anymore because it still feels like the feedback is not being implemented or taken on board.

My understanding is that those who have pre-registered for the beta on Ubisoft’s website will then gain access the following week. I just found this post on their forum which offers more information: http://bit.ly/djiP27

That sucks! I paid my deposit to GAME for the game preorder and to get the beta..now if I want it now, I have to pay another £40? that is not on..£10 deposit on game, plus £40 for PS+ well, no way hosey! I will have to wait a week….it sucks cus I still paid for the preorder beta! £40 for 1 beta is not worth it IMO, all the stuff PS+ gives I got already….its not worth it to me, NEW content regulary and I would sub, 1 beta! 1 week early? pah! Sorry for whinging…..

The pre-order that you have already secured is still very exclusive and you’re still going to get access to the beta when many won’t.

Obviously, the value of Plus in terms of each month’s free content is going to vary depending on which games each user already owns. PlayStation plus is an evolving service and we hope we can provide something that appeals to you very soon.

Great news! Even if I’m on vacation next week and won’t be home before the Beta key I get for pre-ordering will arrive. However this is a great sign for PS+ and I love that you’re listening to the people. Thank you!
